Chapter 117: Rice Harvester

"My neighbor is by no means as simple as a beast in the ordinary sense......," he said, glancing at the lake that had calmed down, Liu Xiu said secretly in his heart.

In terms of size, Liu Xiu is confident that he will be beaten down by other giant pythons, but in the face of the giant python in the lake, he really has no bottom, and the other party can freeze a lake with a sneeze, Liu Xiu said that he can't afford to provoke it for the time being.

Similar to the legendary talent supernatural powers, this is only the tip of the iceberg revealed by the neighbor's ability, God knows what else can be done......

Therefore, Liu Xiu temporarily gave up the idea of learning about the hazy woman from the neighbors.

The appearance of the black shadow woman was an accident, although I didn't figure out who she was, but Liu Xiu didn't care too much about this matter, and kept this matter in mind, maybe it would happen again in the future, and it didn't matter if she didn't meet it, life still had to go on as usual.

The water pavilion has been repaired, of course Liu Xiu moved over, so that after that, he will completely become neighbors with the giant python in the lake, and he really can't look up and look down to see that.

The python in the lake is either on the surface of the water or at the bottom of the water, but doesn't it just look up and don't look down......

It didn't take long to chase the black shadow woman before, and Chaoyang only showed half of his face in the sky, and Liu Xiu decided to go to practice self-cultivation and food to fill his stomach before moving over.

said that it was a move, but in fact, it was just a matter of form, Liu Xiu had already built the chairs and beds in the water pavilion, and he brought two clothes and a wolf skin blanket with him when he moved over this time.

Standing on the terrace on the second floor of the water pavilion, Liu Xiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and always felt that something was missing.

After thinking for a moment, he slapped his head, and his figure flew out of the mountain like a volley......

When Liu Xiu left, on the surface of the lake that calmed down, the giant python quietly stretched out half of its head, first glanced at the departing Liu Xiu suspiciously, and then looked at the black clothes that Liu Xiu put on the terrace of the water pavilion, there seemed to be some entanglement in his eyes, and finally he didn't do anything, and slowly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.

Not long after, Liu Xiu, who had gone outside the mountain, came back with a bag of things, incense candles and the like.

How can you move without a sense of ceremony?

Once as a Chinese, weddings, funerals, weddings, and moving were big things for everyone in that country, and necessary ceremonies were indispensable.

So then Liu Xiu caught and fished rabbits, and made a table of sumptuous dishes, and then worshiped heaven and earth and all kinds of immortals, muttering in his mouth to bless the peace of his house and the like.

I can run this inexplicable world by myself, who can say anything like fairies and monsters.

In fact, according to Liu Xiu's understanding, people in this world also have these particularities, and he is not unique and alone, although no one sees it.

After 'entertaining' the gods from all walks of life, Liu Xiu did the work for him with a table of sumptuous dishes, eating with a mouth full of oil, a round stomach, and finally made himself a cup of tea and lay on the terrace of the water pavilion to eat.

After such a busy work, half a day passed like this.

"In the future, when the weather is good, I will come to live in the water pavilion, read books, drink tea, etc., usually in the house on the hill, compared to it, the water pavilion is more suitable for leisure ......"

On the terrace on the second floor of the water pavilion, looking at the surrounding lakes and mountains, Liu Xiu muttered to herself in her heart.

Now it is about to enter the summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and he expected it is almost the same, it took more than two months to repair the water pavilion, it is the time when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the green leaves, the pink flowers, and the frogs are calling, the breeze blows, the red flowers and green leaves are gently swaying, people are in the middle, such a beautiful scenery, no wine is also drunk.

In fact, Liu Xiu's heart is still a little pity, it is not early spring when he comes back from Wanhua City, and it is not suitable for planting flowers and plants, otherwise, buying all kinds of flowers in Wanhua City can make the environment here more beautiful.

Although he can condense blue water droplets to give birth to flowers and plants, that thing is not something that can be condensed if you want to, and it is okay to condense one or twenty drops a day, but if you have more, your brain will hurt.

This phenomenon, Liu Xiu guessed that it should be related to his own spiritual power, the blue water droplets are not obtained out of thin air, but their own consciousness communicates with heaven and earth to pull a certain kind of vitality energy to condense the blue water droplets, and if you consume too much mental power, it will lead to headaches.

In the coming year, there will be flowers all over the place......

It's okay to be idle, Liu Xiu beckoned gently, and the black dress that was ripped off the woman who was almost caught fell into his hands, he didn't want to do anything indescribable with that dress, he was purely curious about the material of this dress.

"It's not a fabric woven from a certain silk thread in the ordinary sense, soft and thin, more like some kind of leather, the whole garment is one, there is no place for sewing, what kind of leather can be made so light and soft? What is commendable is that there are no traces of sewing on this dress, which can be described as ingenious," looking at the black clothes in his hand over and over again, Liu Xiu muttered in his mouth.

Pull hard, unless he uses all his strength, he can't hurt this dress at all, and in curiosity, Liu Xiu burned it with fire and cut it with a knife......

After some experiments, this dress can really be called invulnerable!

"Even the clothes she wears are a treasure, what is the origin of that woman?" Liu Xiu couldn't help but start thinking about the identity of the other party again.

There is too little information to understand.

But then again, what the hell is that woman's plan, with such a skillful and bright appearance in front of her, Liu Xiu may not be able to help the other party, but the other party ran away as soon as she saw it, which is really incomprehensible.

Could it be that he is simply voyeuristic?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu was a chill, as if he had a pair of eyes looking at him secretly, usually men peeping at women, but now that the situation is reversed, Liu Xiu is uncomfortable.

Count, I don't want to do so much, next time if the other party appears again, I won't chase her, just talk to her, see if the other party will stay and talk, this land is not her own, it's great that she finds a place to build a house by herself, so it doesn't matter if she helps him out like that......

The disturbances of the outside world can't disturb the mountains, and Liu Xiu's days are leisurely and contented.

Then he spent a period of leisurely days, usually reading books and fishing to pass the time, the black shadow woman never appeared again, maybe in the future inadvertently met by chance.

The neighbors are still the same, they will appear in the lake at night when the weather is good, and they usually stay under the water and don't come out, even if Liu Xiu builds the water pavilion on the lake, it doesn't mean anything.

The weather is hot, and mosquitoes inevitably breed in the mountains, although mosquitoes can't suck Liu Xiu's blood because the skin is too thick, but the buzzing is not annoying, so Liu Xiu also spent some time making mosquito coils by himself.

The main materials of mosquito coils are still wormwood and charcoal, but the mosquito coils made by Liu Xiu himself are added with sandalwood found in the forest, and after being lit, it has a calming effect.

Liu Xiu made a thousand handfuls of such mosquito coils, which was completely enough for this year.

After a month in such a leisurely manner, reading books and drinking tea in his spare time, sometimes Liu Xiu would also take the time to spend a few days in the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, so that time unconsciously came to the middle of summer.

Then, Liu Xiu started a new round of busyness.

As the crops matured, he had to prepare for the harvest.

After the sweet potato is harvested, you have to dig a cool and dry cellar to store it, otherwise it is easy to rot, peppers, rice, beans, peanuts and the like also need to be dried, there is no flat cement floor in the mountains, you have to prepare some mats to facilitate drying the harvested crops, and if you store them, you have to make some baskets and barns.

Especially the rice in it, although Liu Xiu doesn't plant too much, it is impossible to collect and harvest it by hand, right? Anyway, he decided to build a human-powered rice harvester.

The structure of the rice harvester is not complicated, Liu Xiu used it at home when he was a child, and he can remember the details with a little recollection, and it should not be difficult to make it after a period of tinkering.

The cabin, the baffle, the drum with N-shaped nails, two pairs of gears, one large and one small, and the pedal for the foot, this is probably the structure of the rice harvester, and it can be operated with a little leverage and the principle of inertia.

One of the most difficult is to do two pairs of gears, in the absence of a lathe under the premise of the difficulty of making can be imagined, the size of the gears, the docking between each other, etc., just to build two pairs of gears Liu Xiu took ten days, and then looked at the finished product Liu Xiu decisively gave up.

As for the two pairs of gears he knocked out with his hammer, if they were installed on the rice harvester, the whole harvester would fall apart in a few clicks......

There was no way, so Liu Xiu had to draw the drawings and come to Qingliu Town, and found out that a time-honored blacksmith shop was entrusted to the other party to help build it.

Professional is professional, the other party stretched out three fingers, saying that as long as thirty silver coins, Liu Xiu would be able to get something satisfactory after two days, and then Liu Xiu decisively paid and left.

He had no doubt that the blacksmith could create gears to his satisfaction, that the wisdom of the working people was limitless, and that it was the bowl of rice that people ate.

As for baskets and the like, this is difficult for Liu Xiu, after all, with so much experience as a bamboo carpenter, he has made a lot of them in a few days.

Two days later, Liu Xiu went to Qingliu Town to get two pairs of gears, one large and one small, and the result was quite satisfied, he was really curious about how the blacksmith could make it without precision instruments, but when he asked, he smiled and said nothing.

Yes, what about people's ability to eat, Liu Xiu didn't ask.

After returning to the mountain, the gear was installed on the rice harvester, the conditions were limited, and only edible animal oil could be used as a lubricant.

Clapping your hands, everything is ready now, just waiting for the crops to ripen.

Sitting on the tinkering harvester, Liu Xiu looked at the direction outside the mountain and was a little entangled, should this thing be promoted?
